We use these measurements during the stitching process and to help determine the final PPI of your high-res image.

Take a photo of the whole painting.  A good reference photo is important because it is used to match the cropped area, brightness, saturation, etc. when delivering your Zip.

• Even lighting across the face of the painting is recommended.
• Daylight works very well (outside on overcast day or in the shade on sunny day).
• If paint is glossy, an indoor lighting system with polarized film is a great solution for removing glare.  This is more labor intensive but relatively easy once you set it up.  

Make sure that each detail photo overlaps its neighbor by about twenty percent ensuring that you capture every inch of the painting.  Also it's best to include a bit of the wall or background so you don't miss capturing the edges of the painting

Double check that all of your photos are in focus.

Head back to Artzip and upload your detail shots. It should take between five to thirty minutes to complete your zip. When it's complete we'll send you a text or email notification with a link.
